    Hopkin's is overrated imo. Weak comp, and his best wins were vs smaller men.

    Great list. Although I'll put Louis no. 1. Beating 25 top contenders in a row in any era is super impressive.

    Pavlik is Hop's 2nd best win after Tito, and he was the bigger man. Hop is one most educated boxers ever.

    Who should he have fought instead? He took on everyone in the division, he didn't avoid anyone. You can't say Hopkins is overrated.

    In recent times....Hopkins, Calzaghe and Trinidad's were all impressive.

    Muhammad Ali 1964-67 if your talking best as opposed to longest or most defences.

    Hop outweighed Pavlik on fight night by what, ten pounds? Pavlik is a skinny guy with far less muscle than Hopkins at LHW.

    Still, Hop's title run at MW was very special.
